Why is ice in a glacier concidered to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
well, you see, glacier ice or solid ice is a mineral because it is in a naturally solid form, and it is natural, not man-made whatsoever, and has a crystalline structure. Water on the otherhand is usually a liquid and has minerals in it; you can't freeze water and say it is a mineral-that would be man-made.
Why is ice in a glacier considered to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
Ice in a glacier is considered a mineral because it has a crystalline structure and forms through natural geological processes. Water from a glacier is not considered a mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure and is in a liquid state rather than a solid state.
Why is the ice in a glacier considered a mineral but the water in a river is not considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.
Is glacier a solid?
A glacier is made up of ice, a solid, but the ice flows, melts, and recrystallizes regularly.
What is the change of state from liquid to a solid?
Solid --> Liquid = melting Other changes of state: Solid --> Gas = sublimation Gas --> Solid = deposition Liquid --> Solid = freezing/solidification Gas --> Liquid = condensation Liquid --> Gas = vaporization
Is glacier solid or gas?
mostly solid, but part liquid

Does water occur on earth as a solid?
Yes, water can occur in actually all three phases: gas, liquid, and solid. Solid water would be a glacier, ice, hail, etc.
Why is water ice considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier is solid and has a definite chemical structure and water does not because water is liquid.
Why is ice in a glacier consider to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
By definition a mineral must be solid. Ice is solid. Water is not.
Is onion a solid or liquid?

Is blue tack solid liquid or gas?

Is juice a solid liquid or gas?

Is wool a solid liquid or a gas?
Solid

What are the general classes of colloids?
The general classes of colloids are sols (solid particles dispersed in a liquid), gels (cross-linked networks of solid particles dispersed in a liquid), and emulsions (liquid droplets dispersed in another liquid).
